The European Commissioner for the Internal Market Michel Barnier expressed his opinion that the Greek economy will not only recover, but that Greece will also be amongst those in a most advantageous position. Mr. Barnier, who spoke to Acheloos TV, offered his support and solidarity to the Greek people, while maintaining that in order to overcome crises, types of efforts and sacrifices that Greece has had to face are necessary.
The Internal Market Commissioner added that the domestic economy will recover with the support of Greek Members of European Parliament, irrespective of their political affiliation, by contributing towards the creation of new regulations in the European banking sector, so that there is greater transparency and accountability than in the past.
Mr. Barnier was also convinced that Europe has been inspired by the Greek efforts to make a fresh start, while praising the significance of Greece’s cultural heritage to Europe, as well as the domestic tourist and shipping industries, which are amongst the strongest in Europe.
